He tells us clearly the horrendous cost of US healthcare.
I hope my British visitors are taking note! This is the sort of thing that will happen in the UK if British voters are RECKLESS ENOUGH to vote for REFORM UK and elect Nigel Farage as their prime minister! Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and adopt an American-style healthcare system here in the UK, bankrupting many people with chronic and terminal illnesses along the way.

America Faces 'Financial Armageddon', Says Kenneth Rogoff

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Former IMF chief economist compares President Barack Obama’s position to the 1962 Cuban missile crisis

America faces “constitutional breakdown” or “financial armageddon,” one of the country’s leading economists has warned, as talks to end the political stand-off in Washington fell apart.

Professor Kenneth Rogoff, a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, compared President Barack Obama’s position to the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, when the Kennedy administration refused to negotiate with Cuba and the Soviet Union despite the threat of potential nuclear destruction.

“It's very hard to see a silver lining to this. It's a constitutional breakdown [but] threatening financial armageddon is blackmail," Mr Rogoff, who is now a professor of economics and public policy at Harvard, told the Telegraph.

“President Obama should push them [the Republicans] to the brink. This has implications beyond the moment. There is a danger of weakening the presidency on a long-term basis.” » | Katherine Rushton, US Business Editor | Tuesday, October 15, 2013

THE INDEPENDENT: Stark warning from IMF chief comes as search for deal to extend debt ceiling shifts to Senate

American politicians risk causing a “massive disruption the world over” that could tip the global economy into another recession if politics gets in the way of raising the country’s debt ceiling and the ongoing government shutdown remains unresolved, Christine Lagarde, the head of the International Monetary Fund, warned today as the US Senate became the focus of talks to end the budgetary deadlock in Washington.

The stark assessment by Ms Lagarde, a former French Finance Minister, came after news that talks between the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner, and President Barack Obama had broken down, putting the onus on the Senate leadership to craft a bipartisan pact to avert what experts predict would be financial catastrophe. » | Nikhil Kumar | New York | Sunday, October 13, 2013
